GMV forges closer ties with Germany’s defense and security industries

On November 12th, GMV received a visit at its headquarters from a delegation representing 12 German security and defense firms, which were selected and endorsed by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie, or BMWi). The visit was part of the international cooperation activities being sponsored by this Ministry, and it had the aim of promoting industrial and technological cooperation in key areas such as critical infrastructure protection, secure connectivity, and digital identity.

The event kicked off with a presentation by GMV, which summarized the company’s main capabilities and lines of business in the fields of defense, security, and space. In addition, it highlighted the solutions developed by GMV in the areas of multidomain command and control, cyberdefense, maritime and border surveillance, and critical infrastructure protection, along with the company’s participation in major European and international programs, such as those sponsored by the European Defence Fund (EDF). The visitors also learned about how GMV is integrating interoperable solutions with NATO and EU standards, to contribute secure, scalable, and fully tested systems for multinational exercises and real operations.

Next, the German companies had an opportunity to showcase their own technological capabilities and solutions, which covered fields ranging from resilient communications and security management systems to cyberdefense and cybersecurity technologies, digital identity, and virtual reality applied to training.

The visit gave all parties involved a chance to share experiences and explore opportunities for collaborations in relation to defense, security, and dual‑use technologies, while strengthening the connections between GMV and German industry, with support from the BMWi.
